313.15(a)(1)
On Thursday, March 24, 2022, at approximately 01100 hours, I CSI REDACTED while performing a scheduled Humane Handling PHIS Task (stunning effectiveness), the following noncompliance was identified. I observed a stunning failure on an animal (beef-steer) in the establishments slaughter area. An establishment employee applied the initial stun with a captive bolt after which the (beef-steer) showed signs of consciousness. The employee immediately applied a second stun with a back-up captive bolt which proved to be immediate and effective. I then immediately notified my supervisor and plant management that the establishment failed to comply with regulatory requirements to 9CFR 313.15 (a)(1) and that a noncompliance record would be issued. A review of noncompliance records for the last 90 days does not indicate a linkage for the same cause.
